Top 5 quotes from Thomas Sowell
"Egalitarians create the most dangerous inequality of all -- inequality of power. Allowing politicians to determine what all other human beings will be allowed to earn is one of the most reckless gambles imaginable. Like the income tax, it may start off being applied only to the rich but it will inevitably reach us all."
"Much of the social history of the Western world over the past three decades has involved replacing what worked with what sounded good."
"The most fundamental fact about the ideas of the political left is that they do not work. Therefore we should not be surprised to find the left concentrated in institutions where ideas do not have to work in order to survive."
"Those who are preoccupied with 'making a statement' usually don't have any statements worth making."
"I have always been offended by the song that says, 'Everything is beautiful in its own way.' If everything is beautiful, then the word 'beautiful' has no meaning. If everything were purple, there would be no word 'purple' in the language because it would not distinguish one thing from another."

"Sex and creativity are often seen by dictators as subversive activities."
"As far as I am concerned now, I have no enemies in the press whatsoever."
"Everything in the world may be endured except continued prosperity."
